Dear all, When I simulate a solution of a drug in water/methanol to study the self-aggregation, and try to determine the interaction energy between the drug molecules , I'm getting net positive values whatever the drug. I'm simply defining the drug groups in .mdp. Should it be entered some other way ?
How do those energies compare to the drug-water or drug-methanol energies? Remember that a pairwise nonbonded interaction energy is not a free energy. If you used PME, the value returned by energygrps isn't even fully accurate because the mesh term is not decomposed. The magnitude of the effect probably depends on the size of the molecules being considered and the distance over which they interact.
